Your tree in the front yard could cause major damage if tree roots are in the storm or sanitary lines.

  • If you get a flood in your basement---DON'T CALL Service Master in AKRON, OH. Big storm with 4" of rain in 1 hour flooded my 1150 sq' basement. The water had abated before Service Master arrived, but I had wet carpet and silt on my floor. Two guys were in my basement for 7 hours on a Sunday night and they sent me a bill for $6500!!! That is over $450 per hour, per man!!!@!! Their reply-- "we don't charge by the hour, we charge by the job. THEY ARE CROOKS!!!!!

  • @mjbrentlinger You need to post this on facebook. I post on facebook daily. Marko Vovk. Friend me and next time I do something on plumbing post this comment. I have 3100 Friends most local neare Akron.

  • This guy is a dumbass. Power rodding a line doesn't damage the pipes. I've been a drainlayer in Chicago for 10 years. I've never seen a rod damage a pipe that wasn't already broken. And to add another point that he's incorrect on, tree roots don't have to come through a break. They come through the joints of the pipe. And lastly, 5000 is a bit excessive in the front yard. Maybe in the street, which repairs can get up to 20,000. If you have a flooding problem perhaps the city sewer has a problem

  • @WinterHaven trees produce over 50% of our oxygen on earth... Without trees we would all be dead. Trees arent so dumb now huh?

  • oh i thought you meant you were shoving tree roots in the toilet and flushing them to backup your sewer system. THIS ISNT THE HUMOR I WANTED!

  • @Clevelandmarko I HATE TREES. I wish all of the damn things were cut down. You would feel like this if you livedin Florida like I do. I cut all mine down.
